Hi:

 I have some drops of expoxy, around the lower end of the canopy, which fell

when building the fiber glass frame, for the slider.



How can one remove these?  people I talk to, say cannot be done...without

damaging the plexi glass..



Any one has any experience on this?



Thanks,

Bert

Hi Bert-



First, is the epoxy low enough that the skirt will cover it?  If so, a

little damage will be out of sight.  



Also, We had a change in plans laying up my one-piece canopy skirt.  We

switched from the original plan of using PVA as a release agent to using a

wax.  We spaced and didn't wax the line between two rows of tape, and a

little epoxy got down to the plex.  As this plex wasn't scuffed to improve

adhesion, a little force applied parallel to the surface of the plex with a

finger nail generally makes it pop right off.  For the rare case where that

is inadequate, or I suddenly have visions of epoxy splinters under my

nails, I use the SIDE of a dental pick to apply the force.  No damage

occurs.



As ever, YMMV, and I hope this helps-
